DS DS 5, K

Brake fluid capacity & service interval

DS 5, K models require brake fluid with a capacity range between min and max. Service intervals include normal use. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
DS 5 1.6 THP 165, 5GZ (2015-2018)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
DS 5 1.6 THP 210, 5FM (2015-2016)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
DS 5 2.0 BlueHDi 135, AHV (2015-2018)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
DS 5 2.0 BlueHDi 150, AHX (2015-2018)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
DS 5 2.0 BlueHDi 180, AHW (2015-2018)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.
DS 5 2.0 HDi HYbrid4, RHC (2015-2018)
  • Use: Normal
  • Between min and max.

Additional Notes

  • Brake fluid capacity across all DS 5 K configurations from 2015-2018 is expressed as a reservoir level rather than a fixed volume, meaning the correct fill is anywhere between the minimum and maximum marks on the reservoir rather than a precise measured quantity.
  • The DS 5 2.0 BlueHDi 135 (AHV) and 2.0 BlueHDi 150 (AHX) share a combined hydraulic brake and clutch system, meaning a single fluid reservoir serves both functions simultaneously. The remaining four engine variants each operate a dedicated hydraulic brake system only.
  • The 1.6 THP 165 (5GZ) and all three 2.0 BlueHDi variants cover the full 2015-2018 span, while the 1.6 THP 210 (5FM) is listed only for 2015-2016, making the latter the shortest production window among the six configurations.
  • All six configurations carry a normal use condition, which in brake fluid servicing typically corresponds to standard road driving as opposed to track or high-heat duty cycles that would otherwise shorten replacement intervals.
  • The 2.0 HDi HYbrid4 (RHC) uses a conventional hydraulic brake system despite its hybrid drivetrain, rather than a brake-by-wire or fully regenerative setup that would eliminate or alter a traditional fluid reservoir.
